Dual enrollment; bring forward provisions relating to for possible amendment.
HB 897 is a procedural bill that moves existing Mississippi code provisions (Section 37-15-38) about dual enrollment programs to a new location in the law for potential future amendments. It does not change current rules but reorganizes the framework governing high school students taking college courses while still enrolled in high school. The existing provisions cover definitions (like "dual credit student"), eligibility requirements, tuition payment options (paid by schools, parents, or grants), credit transfer rules, and approved course types (e.g., advanced math, foreign languages). This bill directly affects high school students, public school districts, and Mississippi community/junior colleges and universities offering dual credit programs. It prepares the current dual enrollment structure for possible updates without altering existing policies.
